Kim claims North is ready for talks on reunification

NORTH KOREAN leader Kim Jong Un revealed in his New Year’s Day speech that he is open to more talks or even a summit with his South Korean counterpart.

“We believe we can resume suspended senior-level talks and hold other talks on specific issues if South Korea sincerely has a position that it wants to improve North-South relations through a dialogue,” he said in a nationally televised address.

“And there is no reason not to hold the highest-level talks if the atmosphere and conditions are met.”
